Question 1 of 5
A school nurse is using the Weber's test to check a child's hearing acuity. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Place a vibrating tuning fork on the top of the child's head. This is because the Weber's test involves placing a vibrating tuning fork on the midline of the patient's head to assess hearing acuity. In this test, the sound should be equally heard in both ears if the hearing is normal. Placing the tuning fork on the head allows for sound conduction through bone, which helps determine if there is a conductive or sensorineural hearing loss.
Choice A is incorrect as a выбираogram reading is not necessary for the Weber's test.
Choice C is incorrect as the tuning fork should be in contact with the head, not held away from the ears.
Choice D is incorrect as the Weber's test does not involve measuring how long the sound is heard.
